Steltman Chair: At the age of 75, Gerrit Rietveld made his last chair: the Steltman chair. The asymmetrical chair, which provides a surprising image from every angle, is typical of Rietveld's design ideas and has now become a real design classic! The graphic lines of the Steltman chair are typical of Rietveld's furniture designs. His strong vision and the principles of the De Stijl art movement are clearly visible. With the Steltman chair, Rietveld once again proved his status as a pioneering designer. The chair owes its name to the Hague jeweler and purveyor Steltman, who commissioned Rietveld in 1963 to renovate and furnish his shop at Noordeinde in The Hague. As part of the new interior, Rietveld designed two mirrored chairs constructed from a graphic interplay of lines. From these chairs customers could select their jewelry and wedding rings. In this context, the chairs also took on a symbolic meaning: two separate, opposing shapes that together form a unity. Dimensions: 14 x 10 x 9 cm
Military seat: The Military chair by Gerrit Rietveld is part of the Military furniture series that Rietveld designed in 1923 for the Catholic Military Home in Utrecht. In this series he uses nuts and bolts for the wood connections for the first time instead of wooden dowels. The military furniture is therefore very sturdy. The furniture, characterized by the use of square sleepers, is available in various colors, with the ends painted in a contrasting color. Dimensions: 17 x 8 x 10 cm
